Chicks

Not only are we a house full of chicks

but we are trying to raise some on our block.

Our dear neighbor across the street, Carolyn, graciously shares her garden. We got a coop and now have several chickens. We have loved the fresh eggs that they lay everyday. We share some with our neighbors who put up with all the egg laying noises:)

Unfortunately, one turned out to be a rooster. We had to get rid of "Zipper"

Then a few months later our dear chicken Sugar died on Bart's birthday. There were many tears. We think she died from eating poisonous garden mushrooms.

Tomorrow we go to get two more chicks to add to our group of ladies.

We will see how this adventure unfolds.

As for now, we love the small scale urban farmer life.
